Looks like mirrorservice.org has complete mirrors. I don't think it's appropriate to submit another PR since (1) this is a temporary issue, and (2) mirrorservice.org didn't consent to potentially being hit with thousands of downloads, but if you want to use their mirror until the official site is up, you can run this from your ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build/share directory:

WARNING — READ ME FIRST

If you decide to use use one of these mirrors, please be vigilant and verify the MD5 checksums of any files you download match MD5 checksum in the release notes for that version. Obviously, you should also verify that the release notes are from a trusted source. We have no reason to believe that www.ruby-lang.org was compromised (it runs on completely different hardware than ftp.ruby-lang.org) but it’s worth double-checking the release notes against the oldest version you can find on archive.org, just to be safe.
